Mom, how do you spell epicurious?
Condé Nast is closing it's Gourmet Magazine as well as a few others, including Cookie Magazine. I have to admit that I do enjoy sitting down with a good cooking magazine and flipping through the pages, but in reality I don't cook with my magazines anymore.
In this economy we have less extra cash to spend on magazines and even if we do justify the expenditure, we don't have the leisure time to sit down and flip through the magazines. Even at the doctor's office people are checking their email on their Blackberry or iPod.
I will miss Gourmet though, just like NPR, and the New York Times crossword puzzle, it was something that was always there throughout my childhood and still now. My mom has copies of Gourmet from my childhood, the 70's, that I remember flipping through. But neither my mother, nor I cook with our magazines too often. We might use them for inspiration, but you can't search the magazines for a recipe or an ingredient in an instant. For that we have to head to epicurious.com or some of those fabulous blogs out there in the "blogosphere".
It is the end of an era and we're trading the glossies for some of these hot trends.
